The wind asked the river —
"Do you want to merge with the ocean?"
The river replied —

"I am the ocean; the ocean is me"

The wind asked the waves —
"Do you want to caress the stones on the seashore?"
The waves replied —

"My fierce tenderness is akin to the rigid brittleness of the stones"

The wind asked the stones —
"Do you want to be washed away by the waves?"
The stones replied —

"The thunderous sounds of the waves wash us anew"

The wind asked the flowers in the garden —
"Do you want to befriend the bees?"
The flowers replied —

"The kisses of the bees constantly revive our lives"

The wind asked the lovers in the park —
"Do you want to be together forever?"
A lover replied —

"Who am I and who is she, where am I and where is she?"
